aftermarket headers??

[ZeeKdaGreeK]

Hey guys, I'm looking into aftermarket headers for a few reasons, primarily I want to ceramic coat the fz's headers cause the discoloration is killing me, might be OCD but I can't help that, and then of course its about the upgrade itself. I'm sorry if there is already a thread about this but I couldn't find it if my life depended on it. I will most likely go for arrow headers. I was wondering if anyone knew how considerable an upgrade this is to go along with a Yosh cf slip on. Any tips tricks or advice?? If someone has a graph on gains? And if I should be looking at something else other then the arrow...

I'm going to get the graves when I pull the $ together...only seen arrow headers available..others have full systems...and the ppl that do custom exahust work like marthy.....you may run into the blueing on all headers..

ARROW Stainless Steel Racing Headers / Collectors 2010-2012 Yamaha FZ8 / Fazer | Motostarz.com | Motostarz.com

These are the only headers I've been able to find. Akrapovic & Arrow, I'm not sure what's better, if they both have cats or not. Or if a diff slip on will work with them. I hope the Yosh slip on works with both these headers... But I guess some more research is required first..

A lot of people seem to like the Graves exhaust. Personally, I don't want the bike to be 'too loud' given the area I live in, but, I too couldn't stand the only shinny part of the bike being discolored. I just ended up painting the stock headers and getting a slip on. Seems to have worked out well.

You painted them yourself? Graves is the only company that shows a dyno chart showing you the gains but you cant buy just the headers, its full system with the exhaust, and although I should probably be more neighborly I prefer the loudness

TRY THIS

One guy on the forums said he used simple green and it worked like a charm to clean them up. The next thing you could do is get a quote fro. Jet-hot.com and get a ceramic coating on the headers.
